Ever dreamt of escaping your desk job and having more freedom?
Of course you have! Trouble is you eventually wake up and
remember that you've got a job and bills to pay, right?
What you need is your own portable means of income that will
give you the flexibility and freedom to work anytime, anywhere.
Imagine working in your garden, from a beach, or your holiday
home in Brazil. Well, with the technology available today, the
dream can actually be a reality.
So what businesses are most suitable for this type of mobile
work and lifestyle? There are more than you think. Just take a
look at the Top 10 list below and if any of them spark your
imagination, use the links to investigate further and see what
is possible.
1. Virtual Assistant
Take your administrative skills worldwide! Who says that you
have to work for one boss in the same company? Anyone with
office and computer skills could set up as a VA from their home.
Using modern technology your clients can be based anywhere.

2. Ebay Trader
Ebay is an international online marketplace, making it a perfect
business to operate from any country. With a little organization
you could spend 6 months in the UK trading under Ebay UK and
then 6 months in another country of your choice trading under
the Ebay sister site of that country.

3. Newsletter Publisher
Package your knowledge in a newsletter, distribute it
electronically and charge a subscription fee to people
interested in your subject. The thirst for knowledge knows no
boundaries. This works perfectly well as an electronic
newsletter as well as via postal mail.
4. Online Tutor
Online tutors or e-tutors guide students through an internet
learning experience. If you have a teaching background, why not
create courses that can be delivered electronically via email,
online tutorials or audio/video conferencing, as well as
telephone conference calls.

5. Personal or Business Coach
Coaching is a profession you can do part time, full time, in
addition to another job. Most coaching is conducted via the
phone and email, and with the many low cost phone packages
available, it is becoming increasingly easier to run this type
of business from any location.

6. Web Designer / Graphic Designer
If you can create graphics, logos, brochures, newsletters,
posters, signs, advertisements, using desktop publishing
software or web designer software, you could run your own design
business from home, and that home could be anywhere.
Contact your local colleges for courses.
7. Writer / Travel Writer
Writing is perhaps the ultimate portable business. With your
laptop and your imagination, you could write whenever, wherever.
Why not become a Travel Writer and turn your travel adventures
into a book, or write articles for magazines about your
experiences.

8. Stock Market Trading
This doesn't have to be for the elite or financially well-versed
anymore. Keep abreast of market trends and stock performance and
this could be a viable business operational from home or any
location.
9. Copywriter
A copywriter is someone who uses words to sell products and
services. One huge perk of being a freelance copywriter is the
flexible lifestyle. You can earn your living from anywhere in
the world -a holiday home, an island, or your own home.

10. Computer Software Engineer
Using your skills in design, development, testing and evaluation
of computer software you can develop your own products or work
on a freelance basis for companies worldwide.
